Sean refers to a News.com (press) (cough) blog (cough) about how Microsoft is apparently not happy about the entire “podcasting” naming and thinks “blogcasting” is so much better. Obviously because Microsoft just totally hates the iPod and how the term podcasting conjures up images of white headphones etc. Get real, white headphones aren’t just for the iPod anymore. Look at the PSP and Creative products. Almost any product that can get away with white headphones will try to.

This is yet another example of the press just faffing about and not doing a good job of reporting facts without the opinion. There’s another post from the gents at The Inquirer. What’s wrong with it you ask? Well loads, but that’s nothing new since this is coming from The Inquirer. But then there’s this:

“You also need MS Media Center Edition 2006 (MCE 2006).”

Who ever said anything about MCE 2006? I’ve not heard of such a thing and couldn’t say either way if that’s what it would actually be called. Point is, Microsoft hasn’t made any official announcements as far as I’m aware so obviously a better way of putting it would’ve been. “You’d also need an update to the OS in order for you to take advantage of these new features.”

I’m glad Sean points to what’s considered a trusted News source such as News.com. Because it just shows that so many times these sources just aren’t as good as they could or should be.
